Welcome to Penzance
Not much here really
Make the most of it!
Poundland, Abbey Slip, Prem, Bus Stop.
It’s staples
Our secrets …
I’ll take you there.
And show you the unseen.
But please don’t say ‘in my day…’
Are you ready to follow?
THROUGH MY EYES
More than just a tour – it was an invitation to connect, listen and to see the world through the unique perspective of young people living at the westerly edges of Cornwall today. A lens into their lives, hidden places, imagination, hopes and dreams for the future.
A remapping of Penzance developed in collaboration with the young people who live in Penzance and call it home.
